Screen blinking
I have used a "Targus USB2.0 Docking Station with Video" for over a year - quite happily other than the "audio out" has never worked. I am running W7 32-bit with one external Dell monitor.
Anyway, about a week ago the monitor started to occasionally "blink" - video turned off for maybe a second, then back on. It would then repeat, randomly, every 5-20 seconds - to the point of having to turn it off and revert to my laptop screen. It seems to happen only after some period of time - e.g. everything fine for 30-60 minutes (as it is now while I am trying to type this). I have de-installed/re-installed with no change. Any comments/ideas? |

Does it does it do this even at a reduced resolution? Have you tried a different monitor? It sounds like something has degraded with age and when the system has warmed up, and now the monitor is occasionally failing to get vsync signals. You could try a different cable.
If it goes wrong with a different monitor and cable then I'm afraid your dock may have degraded. |
